Slalom
Slalom Flex (Project Based) – AI Strategist
Remote (MST working hours, local to Denver preferred; onsite optional). Position is project‑based, focused on accelerating Generative AI (GenAI) adoption across product, engineering, and data teams for a client operating within a Google‑centric ecosystem.
What You’ll Do
Develop a pragmatic GenAI roadmap aligned to business outcomes, data readiness, and the client’s platform environment (Google‑first with multi‑cloud components).
Translate ambiguous opportunities into clear, value‑driven use cases (assistants, automation, knowledge retrieval, personalization) with risk/impact considerations.
Lead hands‑on workshops, labs, and office hours to upskill delivery teams and stakeholders on GenAI fundamentals (prompting, evaluation, safety considerations).
Build playbooks, patterns, and reference examples tailored to the client’s workflows and technology stack.
Guide the design of GenAI solutions using a mix of Databricks, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, and other ecosystem tools—without requiring deep specialization in any single platform.
Support development of prototypes such as RAG workflows, lightweight agents, orchestration patterns, and reference integrations to demonstrate feasibility and best practices.
Advise on the broader GenAI vendor ecosystem (model providers, vector DBs, eval frameworks, agent platforms). Compare tools across criteria like performance, cost, security, and implementation complexity; support proof‑of‑concept evaluations.
Partner with data engineering, platform, and product teams to integrate GenAI responsibly within existing services and workflows.
Communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical audiences, ensuring alignment around recommendations and decisions.
What You’ll Bring
Broad experience applying GenAI tools in real‑world contexts, including prompting best practices, evaluation, and enterprise integration patterns.
Familiarity with Databricks AI capabilities, Google Gemini, and AWS (especially AWS Bedrock); emphasis on understanding platform strengths, constraints, and how they work together.
Strong enablement skills: ability to coach engineers, analysts, and product partners through hands‑on teaching, labs, and curriculum development.
Working knowledge of building prototypes across Python/SQL notebooks, API‑based integrations, simple orchestration patterns, and multi‑cloud environments.
Clear, pragmatic communication skills with the ability to translate complex AI concepts into actionable guidance.
Experience working with multiple GenAI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) and understanding model selection tradeoffs.
Familiarity with modern data and ML workflows (e.g., CI/CD for ML assets, vector search concepts, data transformation tools).
Prior consulting experience preferred.
Exceptional communication skills.
